Khabib Faces His Toughest Challenge Yet In His father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov…
Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t human when he’s fighting in the octagon and it’s mainly due to his superior level wrestling skills. But, to think that there’s someone else out there that can do it better and who is much older than “The Eagle”… we wouldn’t believe the possibility.
However, he did face off against another talented wrestler, who happens to be his own father! That’s right… Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov took on the young 30-year-old (27-0) fighter and came out on top. And even though it wasn’t an all-out match, his dad’s power and technique are pretty impressive.
But, even if Khabib did let his dad win, he had to get his talent from somewhere…

Khabib’s suspension will conclude in July and he’s scheduled to square off with Dustin Poirier 9-1 (1 NC) at UFC 242 on September 7, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
